Good to know
 The Leica DISTO™ device only sends the currently measured value. To send a
result from the main line of the DISTO™ press the „=„ key on the D810 touch or
D510. For the D110 press the Bluetooth® key to send a result from the main line.

Press short to send the

measurement value from the
main line of the display (e.g. area)

 To send a value using a D3a BT or D8 with Bluetooth® 2.1 you need to press the
Bluetooth® key

 If you like to transfer distance measurement values including the inclination you
need to switch on the Level option in the Setting of your Leica DISTO™ device.
